Yes, the IPv4 internet is a good example of a technology project managed by the federal government that went well. But I think that it is worth pointing out that it was not created and managed by congress (of which I have a very low opinion, I have always had trouble seeing a group of 500 people ever being able to reach a worthwhile decision, especially if they all are also trying to keep thousands of other people happy with their decisions). But was created and managed by the military due to their fear of nuclear war.
